Larynx

I have a voice...

wilderness crush,

rooted in the heart

of the words I tell.

These are not silent,

hidden layers

compressed like film wafers.

They are seldomly unheard...

My voice

is not loud enough.

The earthquakes

when I tremor for love.

A mighty shift in tectonic heartbeats.

It takes days

to get a bowl

of words in the bucket.

When ultimately I do,

your thirst

pulls them out,

and I'm voiceless no more.

'Cause I believe in you

much more than the silence

it takes to reach my voice.

I groove...

to speak a lot more.

Fetch the bucket

and lower it in.

How I can define happiness

without you?

It's like I touched the sun

and it didn't scorch me.

Grabed it and placed

it on my chest

and I didn't feel my heart skip.

'Cause you burn my world

with unmentionable degrees.

The sun cannot measure up

to the heat you release.

I cried all the tears

in my eyes.

Laughed all the laughs,

yet you make me happy

that I dried my tears,

sat on emptiness

until my heart

was enriched

by the burning sun,

to cry out for love

till I lost my voice.

You were still

standing there

with unmentionable degrees,

feeding me your heat

till I was overwhelmed

to breathe.

The happiness I feel is beyond living

the way life is perceived.

It cannot be defined...

Love

If our world was a world of love, we would have no need for this debate. Make sure the others in your life know they are loved. The difference between being loved and knowing you are a valued human being is so big we have allowed a place in our society for people who think it's okay to kill innocent children. Reach out to your neighbors, family, friends, students, teachers, peers. Anyone and everyone. If everyone is a valued part of their society, they will not feel the need to lash out. Do your part by loving the unlovable. You never know what thoughts are in the back of their minds.

Wishes

Iwishedformore

and I got you

I wanted to ease

Your phobia

of trust and open up

your heart

by penetrating your

scalp nourishing

that mind feeding

your overly scratched

heightened synaptic's

the inner templates that's been keeping you emerged in the 31 flavors of my desires

filled with ascending tingling duos

washing sweltering geysers of heatwaves lashing down on her own

succulent pallet by

letting me, she, us collide

On waves of submission

succumb to the voices

while climbing into my body and being kept captivated on my

Own self awareness

Followed with kisses

Ducks in a Row

She's squirming

Each turning

Pains me

Want her set free

I see as she tries

The fear in her eyes

The life she has sown

Fear of the unknown

Homework undone at the gaits

The teacher waits

Her praying posture gives her hope

It helps her cope

Get your ducks out of the pond

Put them in a row

Don't be a worm stepped upon

When it's your time to go

Love is overrated; write something about hate.

NO HATE’N

An easy emotion

It makes quite a commotion

Burns from the inside out

Makes you scream makes you shout!

First comes ANGER,

Then comes RAGE!

But you better think twice

Before you let HATE from its cage!

Oh! Once it's started well it's hard to

Contain,

HATE once it gets going is like a

hurricane!

I saw HATE once and I tell you what

It was the ugliest sight I ever did saw!

Go tell your friends

Your neighbors too

That it's best not to be hate'n

It's just bad and

I love you!

TROUBLE

I have heart trouble.

Pain in my chest trouble.

The kind that they give

you a stress test

Trouble.

The kind that your heart

ain't beating right.

Trouble.

The kind that make the Dr.s say

"Take it easy now, ok?!"

Trouble.

Trying to deal with everything

and everyone and.... OHHHHHH!

Trouble!

So they hooked me up

They had their look

And guess what?

I'm in

TROUBLE!
